I write regularly for Psychic News magazine and had a book published in December of last year called Britain's Haunted Heritage. The final chapter concerns the ghost stories connected with the Ripper murder sites. Stewart P. Evans kindly provided me with some illustrations for the chapter. The book is on Amazon. The publisher is JMD Media - https://www.jmdmedia.co.uk/collectio...unted-heritage.

Come back RandiRegards

“...A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.”

JohnWest, have you read "The Search For Jack the Ripper - A Psychic Investigation" by Pamela Ball? If so, what are your thoughts?"It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (as Sherlock Holmes).

It is true there is no known evidence that supports psychic phenomena and ghosts as the spirits of the dead, although images of people that are deceased are commonplace. Whether or not there is a natural way of 'videos' of the dead occurring that can be seen in certain circumstances is unknown, but it may be just be we do not understand how that works at present. Of course, tricks of the brain is the more common explanation.

Have you seen the film 'Red Lights' starring Sigourney Weaver, Robert DeNiro and Cillian Murphy (Sigourney Weaver playing a James Randi type role). I think you might enjoy it.

I have read this book. I found it completely unconvincing.
Apart from the Pamela Ball book I’m sure that there was another ‘psychic’ Ripper book unless I’m mis-remembering?
There was a poster on here a few months ago trying to convince us that the spirit of Prince Eddie had confessed to him. He’s now banned but I can’t recall his name.Regards

I haven’t seen that one Eten. I’m not a believer but one of my heroes, Conan Doyle was utterly convinced. Wasted far too much time when he could have been writing more Holmes stories imo.

Even if we get in contact with the spirits of the dead involved in the case, we'd still argue about their statements.Regards
